Mansehra: Political Advisor to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Zargul Khan, has said that provincial government would give Tanawal the status of a district in the first week of the next month, according to a news report. He said preparations were underway for giving Tanawal this status before 4th April, 2018.
Tanawal is primarily populated by people of the Tanoli tribe, and Tanawal being given district status has been a longstanding demand. The provincial government has now decided to grant the status and the documentation has been finalised for this process. The politicians and people of Tanawal are, however, petitioning for the inclusion of ten instead of five union councils in Tanawal.
